I have been a photographer since my days in junior high school, taking pictures with a Brownie camera and participating in the audio-visual club. I started my career as a film photographer shooting weddings in the 1970's. Since then, I have split my interest and career between Information Technology and Photography, finally landing as a full-time professional photographer in 2008.
My main focus early on was events and weddings. Currently I am a freelance contracted photographer for several organizations including ENCORE magazine, The University of Michigan, Bronson Hospital & Wings Stadium. I have found my most rewarding work is portraiture, working with individuals and small groups to capture who they are at a specific moment in their lives.
My studio is in the Park Trades Building in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It is a beautiful natural light studio full of props, lights and magic.
